Decide what an authenticated caller may do — pick the permission model, put the check at one enforcement point close to the data, and default to deny. Use when adding roles or permissions, scoping data per tenant or per owner, building an admin-only path, reviewing an endpoint that trusts a client-supplied id, or when someone reports seeing data that is not theirs. Not for establishing identity (that is authentication), and hiding a control in the UI is never the enforcement.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Authorization Authentication says who is calling. Authorization says what that caller may do to **this** resource. Being logged in is not a permission, and a hidden button is not a check — the request still leaves the browser exactly the same way. ## When this fires A rule of the form "only X may do Y to Z" is being added, changed, or doubted. Roles, admin areas, per-owner or per-tenant data, sharing, feature gating that carries money or privacy. Also fires on any report that a caller reached a resource they should not have. ## Procedure 1. **Write the rule as one sentence:** *who* may do *what action* to *which resource*, under *what condition*. If it will not fit in a sentence, either the model is wrong or there are two rules. Do this before opening an editor — most authorization bugs are unwritten rules. 2. **Choose the smallest model the rules need.** A handful of fixed roles → a role check. Rules that read the resource (owner, tenant, state, amount) → an attribute or ownership check. "A may see it because B shared it" → a relationship check. Do not stand up a policy engine for three roles; do not fake relationships with an ever-growing enum. …

How to install
mdr add nahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcher/authorization@sha256:43f86b25e0007433The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a0d4f55, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
